Northeastern Germany
Northeastern Germany, Germany
Where Prussian palaces meet Baltic beaches. This region spans Berlin & Brandenburg to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s coast and islands, mixing glassy lake districts (Mecklenburgische Seenplatte), pine forests and waterways (Spree/Havel), and Hanseatic brick-gothic towns. Think chalk cliffs on Rügen, spa villas on Usedom, and the garden splendor of Potsdam—all within easy rail or highway reach
